Basilica Giulia

The Basilica Giulia was a large public building built in 46 BC by Julius Caesar used by the Roman Republic and Roman Empire for official business.

History
Initially dedicated by Julius Caesar in 46 BCE, the Basilica's construction was funded by the spoils of the Gallic Wars. Completed some years later by Augustus, he named the building after his father. It was used mostly as a court of civil law as well as for sessions of the Centumviri who presided over matters of inheritance.
